Frequently asked questions
Does this require a special light to work?
Yes, this simulator is designed to be used with an ultraviolet (UV) light source. Once applied, the solution glows a bright, distinct orange under UV light to reveal areas that may have been missed during cleaning.
Is this safe for use on human skin?
The Glo Germ formula is a professional-grade, oil-based solution specifically engineered for training purposes, such as demonstrating proper handwashing, gloving, and gowning techniques in clinical and educational settings.
Can this be used for testing surface cleaning?
